Description : Becky Brusky's STATS 1100 class were tasked with researching and innovating ideas on how to do data collection for our safe routes to school program. The students came up with innovative ideas to collect data from students that walk,roll, or bike to school. We know surveys are not preferred and there were some ideas that we would like to engage a future SLA class with. TWP will explore the idea of developing an app if an SLA class comes up and has the ability to do this. The idea came from the students themselves which would be a great app for the community.

Capacity Building
Description : UNO students hired as Collaborative interns are matched with community organizations, working 10 hours a week for that organization in the community. Students are paid through the grant-funded program. Nonprofits coordinate meaningful work for interns to benefit the student experience in different ways. Students typically intern during the fall and spring semesters and may serve the same organization for more than one academic year. Each unique student that works as a Collaborative intern with this specific community partner is identified within this project.
